OIWC puts call out for award nominations

BOULDER, CO (BRAIN) — The Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition (OIWC) is seeking nominations for its Pioneering Women Award and First Ascent Award in the Bike Industry.

The two honors were established by OIWC in 2006 to recognize a “maven of mentoring” who has paved the way for other women in the outdoor industry and, in the case of the First Ascent Award, an up-and-coming leader with the potential to become an industry influencer. Previous winners include Sally McCoy, CEO and president of CamelBak; Georgena Terry, founder of Terry Precision Cycling; and Penina Bush, senior manager, Shimano American Corp.

Nominations must be completed and submitted to the OIWC website by Aug. 5.
